Certified NPO Florence (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Midori Akasaka) has expanded the scope of projects eligible for support under its donation plan, 'Single-Parent Household Support Team,' which began in 2008.
In addition to the conventional home-visit sick child care service, 'Single-Parent Support Plan through Donations,' new services now include 'food support,' 'consultation support,' and 'experience provision.'
The rising prices of food and daily necessities continue to put severe pressure on household budgets. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's 'Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions' (2024), 33.9% of households with children reported 'experiencing great financial hardship,' an increase of 5.4% from the previous year. In particular, Florence has received desperate pleas from single-parent households who lack nearby support, stating, 'Even if we work desperately, we can't even manage to get food for tomorrow.' This suggests an acceleration of economic hardship and social isolation.
To break this cycle, Florence has expanded the use of donations to make continuous support for single-parent households more flexible and robust.
To commemorate this expansion of support, a campaign to recruit 250 'Single-Parent Household Support Team' members will be held until April 30, 2026.
Through this campaign, Florence aims to realize its diverse activities in the children and parenting sector through your donations, and to foster a sense of 'connection' through giving, supporting each other to make 'raising children as a whole society' a matter of course.
